IF the worst should happen, and you do come a cropper on your bike, a good set of leathers can make the difference between a couple of bruises and prolonged visits to the skin graft clinic. DexDirect sells a range of leather suits to suit all budgets; from the VFM Akito range up to the top-of-the-range Texport suits, as worn by some of the best racers in the world.

TWO-PIECE OR ONE PIECE

One-piece suits offer the ultimate protection, and are ideal if you spend any amount of time riding on track days.
If you spend more time touring or commuting, then a two-piece suit may be a better choice. The jacket zips to the trousers to prevent the suit riding up in a spill, but when you get to your destination, you can quickly take off your jacket for comfort. Toilet stops are much easier too…

ARMOUR

All DexDirect suits include CE-approved body armour in shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, unless specifically stated.

CE body armour can help absorb the impact of a crash, reducing the severity of any injuries.
